We have tech to desalinate the oceans. We can adapt if we use our sense. History, especially recent, shows that is not likely.

David Attenborough has a number of documentaries focusing on just that

The empire took thousands of years to build and just 100 years to collapse.


One of the few regrets I have in my life is not knowing about (or that it even existed) the study like is described here, (until I was well into my 50's)- and anthropology as well. Fascinating stuff.

The way things have gone, if I see a creepy clown calling me to go in the woods, I'm just gonna go.

Climate change really happens. Better technologies at lower cost!

Were the Mayans were done in by the Internal Combustion engine?

Change in climate includes droughts. Ancient Mesopotamia had a similar problem.

That's why sustainable societies are doomed to fail. If all you can do is support yourself you are doomed if you get two bad years in a row.

Amazing that it took hundreds of years back in the good ole days and we're down to 10 years according to our Climate "Scientists"

With current regulations, it would take us over a million years to build any new nuclear reactor

Only for fission not fusion (an energy with a future).

 

[there4eyeM]

Fission energy is not the future, it is the past; about eight minutes and twenty seconds ago.

A century (give or take a decade depending on which scientific calculation you subscribe to) isn't exactly "sudden". The problem is that a handful of mud doesn't take into account the carnage of the Spanish Conquistadores.
